Wayfinding Open House Seeks Direction

The three proposed designs for new signage around town was displayed Wednesday night at the downtown library. Did you go?

About 50 people, including members of the City Council, came to the downtown library Wednesday night to take a look at three designs for a series of signs that the city is considering installing to help people find their way around.

The city is now soliciting advice and opinions from the public about the different designs, before settling on a particular one. The design project is being funded by parking revenue, though there is no funding identified for the actual project.

City planner Michael Huffaker said that the city is soliciting feedback on the designs, which will be channeled back to Hunt Designs, a Pasadena-based company the city has hired to develop the signage options.

Where did I miss the part about deciding this would be a good project? Oh, I guess I forgot, with Cindy and co. in charge, whatever the Chamber of Commerce wants, they get. Take a look at Concord's "wayfaring" signs? After a couple years they are mostly stolen or tagged into oblivion. Another waste of money by my city council.

Chem trails ... You tube..

The trails I saw at you tube, while bigger than vapor trails, were still very puny compared to theRead More banner cloud formations I saw this, banners stretching straight from East to West (or vice versa) from one horizon to the other. May guess is that they were over 500 feet wide, and I'm still inclined to think the straight-line winds that made the derecho in the East pushed backwards a straight banner of visible water vapor (ie, clouds). Compare the physics to the x-rays that are pushed backwards when matter is sucked into the spiral of a black hole, a new discovery this week.

Thanks, Jim. I appreciate it. Hi Julio, As we all know, Even the late movie guru, Roger Ebert'sRead More fans, sometimes, did not agree with his assessment. This is the beauty of a filmic conversation. There is really no right or wrong. It is highly subjective. Even Rotten Tomatoes sometimes do not agree with Top Critics from around the world.

Attachment: STATEMENT OF ISSUE: The library café opened in September 2012 with a Rental Commencement Date of October 1, 2013. Since the very beginning of operations, the tenant has struggled to meet the lease obligations and most recently requested waived rent through September 2013. Staff has negotiated an amendment to the lease that addresses City concerns and supports the tenant’s viability for success, and recommends the new terms to the Council for approval. RECOMMENDED ACTION: Approve and authorize the Mayor to execute an amendment to the lease agreement with Café Pica Deli, Inc. to adjust the monthly rent from $1,250 to $400 per month for the first twenty-four (24) months of the Initial Term; modify the “Percentage of Sales” revenue sharing provision in the agreement, as well as add flexibility to the hours of operation.
